The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax issues based on estimates ofwhether additional taxes will be due. The uncertain tax positions are measured at the amountexpected to be paid to taxation authorities when the Company determines that the probable outflow ofeconomic resources will occur. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from theamounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income taxassets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balancesheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or to settle a liability in an ordinarytransaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement isbased on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or to settle a liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participantswould use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economicbest interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability togenerate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to anothermarket participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for whichsufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputsand minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements arecategorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input thatis significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — other techniques for which all input which have a significant effect on the recorded fairvalue are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Inputs which are not based on observable market data

1) Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables,other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate theircarrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
2) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based onparameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on thisevaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables. Accordingly,fair value of such instruments is not materially different from their carrying amounts.
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. (at cost)
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value areobservable, either directly or indirectly.

Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financialinstruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans andborrowings.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuatebecause of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize the company's position with regards tointerest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs acomprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate andfloating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations asagreed. To manage this, the company periodically assess financial reliability of customer, taking intoaccount the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageingof accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there hasbeen a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period. To assesswhether there is a significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of default occurring onasset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition.

i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,
ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,
iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to thecounterparty's ability to meet its obligations,
iv) Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty,
